Halle Berry Phones A Friend

Halle Berry and a friend chat on the phone and then walk arm in arm together on the streets of New York City on Monday (November 16).

The 43-year-old actress will be honored with the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at The Hollywood Reporter’s 18th annual Women in Entertainment breakfast on December 4. It was recently announced that Eva Longoria will be presenting at the breakfast.

“The complex role that Halle Berry plays in life as a successful, versatile entertainment professional who is committed to furthering the well-being of others, especially minorities, is as inspiring as are her film roles,” THR editor Elizabeth Guider said.

“The recognition is also wonderfully fitting in a year in which diversity has been embraced and rewarded at the highest levels of our government and culture.”
